There is no standard GCF in that instance. It varies according to which numbers you select.

What are the common factors of 38 and 84?

Composite. All whole numbers ending in zero are composite.


The greatest factor that two or more numbers have in common is?

The Greatest Common Factor, or GCF.


Do all composite numbers share a greatest common factor that is greater than 1?

No. Two composite numbers, like 4 and 9, can have a GCF of 1. They are said to be relatively prime or co-prime.


Find the greatest common factor of 14?

14. Alternatively, a single number cannot have a greatest common factor because "common" refers to factors that two or more numbers have in common. You have only one number.


What is the greatest common factor of 34?

There cannot be a greatest common factor if there are not at least two numbers to compare. The greatest common factor is the largest factor that all the numbers have in common - the largest factor that they all share.
